Naruto: Winds and Changes

The next morning found Naruto up bright and early as he decided now was the time to start his training. Rather than going to his usual training ground forty three, he had decided to head into the Forest of Death so that the chances of people actually seeing his jutsu were nil. Using one of the many clearings he knew of that had a low probability of the Forest's creatures trying to kill him, Naruto set up a basic genjutsu/fuuinjutsu around the area, as well as a Security seal to alert him on the off chance that someone did actually enter his sanctuary.

"Tajuu Kage Bunshin No Jutsu!" There was a puff of smoke and when it cleared Naruto found himself with not his standard three hundred clones, but instead five hundred clones. He scratched the back of his head in confusion, What the hell? I didn't use enough chakra to make five hundred clones. So why…?

'Did you forget Naruto?' Kyuubi spoke up from within the seal.

Naruto scrunched up his face in confusion as the vixen's voice entered his mind, 'What do you mean Kyuubi? Am I forgetting something?'

Kyuubi resisted the urge to sigh, 'You're a Hanyou now. That means you are not using chakra but youki, or at least a variant of youki. Due to its potency, you do not need as much to get the same effect from one of your jutsu.'

'That's right! You said something about that…hehe, I guess I forgot!'

Within the seal Kyuubi rolled her eyes, 'Obviously.'

Naruto frowned as he looked at the extra Kage Bunshin, 'So what do I do now? I mean, I don't need the extra two hundred clones…'

'Didn't Hatake give you a scroll?' Kyuubi asked, 'It may have something your clones can do in it.'

Naruto blinked, 'Oh right…' he reached into his pouch where he had put the scroll yesterday. He looked at it for a moment before unrolling it and reading its contents.

Naruto,

I made this for Hokage-sama to give to you when you woke up. First off, I would like to tell you how proud I am of you for beating an opponent as fearsome as Gaara. Though I would recommend you be less reckless next time it would save some of us a heart attack, that being said, good job.

It was here that both Naruto and Kyuubi sweatdropped as they saw a chibi drawing of Kakashi giving them an eye smile and holding up one of his hands in the peace sign. Shaking his head Naruto continued to read.

Now I have started training Sasuke for this month because in all honesty I feel he needs it more than you do. However, I don't want you to be left out or think that I have forgotten about you. Which I why I have written down several jutsu on this scroll for you to learn, jutsu that you won't be able to get anywhere in Konoha due to the fact that I copied many of them during the war. I know that your elemental affinity is for wind, however that does not mean you can't learn jutsu from other elements, it will just take more chakra. There are four jutsu for each element, as well as a few non-elemental jutsu that I feel will prove useful to you.

Good luck with your training and I hope to see how you do in the finals.

Kakashi

On the bottom of the scroll Naruto found a list of twenty four different jutsu ranging from E-rank to B-rank; four from each element, each giving an E, D, C and B-ranked jutsu, and then four non-elemental jutsu of the same ranking.

'Well at least he didn't leave me high an' dry eh Kyuubi?' Naruto chuckled a bit. He knew the real reason Kakashi had to train Sasuke, having finished his reading on shinobi politics several months ago he knew that the council would be on his sensei's back to train the Uchiha heir. And as Konoha's 'demon brat' they would raise hell if Kakashi took time to train him.

'It's better than nothing,' Kyuubi replied, she did not much care for jutsu but as they were what humans used they could be useful to Naruto.

Well at least now I know what to have my extra clones do.

Naruto looked up at his clones and began to give orders, "Alright guys, I want three hundred of you to separate and do our original routine! The rest of you are going to grab this scroll and work on some jutsu. I want you to choose one, and then work on it with fifteen clones at a time until they dispel. Rotate like that every time a group dispels or learns the jutsu! Start from D-rank and work your way up."

"Ossu!" The clones shouted as they went off to do their thing.

With the clones off to do their training Naruto decided to speak with Kyuubi about his own training, 'Ok, so what are you going to be teaching me Kyuubi?'

'Teach you?' Kyuubi asked and though Naruto could not see it, he could imagine the sly smirk on her face, 'Who ever said I would teach you?'
